flomojopoanode #1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

lol, you're right, did you see what it is? It's an "ask ezabel".

And don't try to pull it off as a journal? OR don't try the camera?

fivezero #1.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

Both, Julio.

I wouldn't do it.

These types of promos have it all in with those other vendors.
Glad I was looking to buy some music recently otherwise I would have signed up for a bunch of cr*p, that I wouldn't want....

The company I went through was offering a new Sony Mini dv DVD camcorder, to test and also keep after completing the survey, and a few offers. Did the offers,got no camera,no survey.

It's ALL BUNK

I constantly get e-mails like that at the address I've had for like 7 years. If your address floats around for long enough, you're going to get junk like that. The most recent ones I've gotten were for a Hawaian vacation, a camcorder and a free plasma tv. If any of it worked, the company wouldn't just send random e-mails; people would be chasing them.

highly informative, and reasonable.

My only exception is...well, gmail, it's highly sought after, but you have to be contacted by someone who already has it, to get it.

rocksupastar #4 rocksupastarFounder stupid

ProductTestPanel is similar to Freeipods, in that you have to get a bunch of people to sign up under you. But, it's not run by the same people as Freeipods, so who knows if they're legit or not

flomojopoanode #6.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

eh, I didn't bother with freeipods, either, why bother with this. Thanks for the info, though.

thatdarngirl #7 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yeah..totally a http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=7261517 so if you feel like helping people get free things help me get my ipod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i picked hacelo because i think it's funny. but really, i think it's probably a scam. btw, i think the correct wording would be lo hace, you can only put the lo after the verb if there are two or more verbs in the sentence, otherwise it goes before the verb.

flomojopoanode #9.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

I thought so! Thanks! (I still like how "hacelo" sounds better..it's smooth.)

I picked hacelo only because it's funny, too.
